This book seeks to document the constitution of bodies of knowledge on South Asia spanning two centuries (19th - 20th), by providing a genealogy of the institutionalisation and transformations occurring in South Asian studies across Europe, India and the United States. Three specific points are addressed in the essays: the cognitive construction of South Asia in the American university system; the exploration of relations between national identities and respective traditions of research on South Asia in Great Britain and the United States throughout the 20th century; and a reflection on Subaltern studies , an Indian series born under the auspices of radical social history, which has now become a major entry point into postmodernist ideas. Contents: 1. South Asia, Made in the USA : Cultural Transfers, Universities and the Intellectual Diaspora, by Jackie Assayag 2. Nations, Diaspora and Area Studies: South Asia, from Great Britain to the United States, by VÃ©ronique BÃ©nÃ©Ã¯ 3. Subaltern Studies as Post-Colonial Critique of Modernity, by Jacques Pouchepadass
